 Can you shut off the attachments that go out with your posts to the 
 Mandrake Newbie list?  My drive is getting littered with these files 

A big ditto as far as message.footer is concerned. PLEASE PLEASE rethink
this as a .signature rather than an attachment. It's not all that big
of a deal -- at least it didn't use to be - but in 8.1 with its new
elm - it interferes a lot, unless elm can be reconfigured not to see every
message from that list as having an attachment.

I have stopped putting my digital signature on all emails to the list.
For whatever reason, Evolution insists on signing emails as an
attachment, rather than just including the appropriate text within the
message like kmail does.

That message.footer is from the list server, not me.

Dave, 

I wasn't directing this message at you personally, but your message was
just a catalyst for me to vent :) Sorry. I didn't see your messages in
particular - it's just that the message.footer is making my screen jump
and stuff with this new elm.

Root exploit in SSH -- anybody heard about this? I've shut down my ssh
server, just in case. But I haven't seen anything on Mandrake's security
page for 8.1, nor have I received an announcement from Mandrake.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-devm=100696253318793w=2

I CC'd the security address for Mandrake ... if this was a faux pas,
please forgive.

Mandrake Newbie list?  My drive is getting littered with these files 
and I'm sure this is happening for others.  After the first couple of 
times, they are redundant.

Thanks. Please don't interpret this as an objection to the posts 
themselves.  They are illuminating and helpful.

Thanks.
